Moralee in attack on chief

Barry Town striker Jamie Moralee has launched a stinging attack on chairman Kevin Green, following the club's decision to make him available for transfer - but vowed to honour the remainder of his contract.

Barry Town striker Jamie Moralee has launched a stinging attack on chairman Kevin Green, following the club's decision to make him available for transfer - but vowed to honour the remainder of his contract.

Making his debut against Boavista in the Uefa Cup, Moralee netted 27 times last season as Barry romped to a league and Welsh Cup double.

Thought to be one of the Dragons' highest earners, he now finds himself surplus to requirements at the club as Kevin Green looks to slash the wage bill at Jenner Park.

Although reluctant to make Moralee available for transfer, Barry boss Kenny Brown has explained the financial reasons behind the decision and stressed that the player had accepted the situation.

However, Moralee's goal celebration - directed at Green - against Newtown last Saturday told a very different story and despite recent reports to the contrary, the ex-Crystal Palace star remains angered by the club's decision.

Speaking after the Dragons' 3-0 win, he issued a defiant message to the club's hierarchy and revealed that he was finding it difficult coming to terms with the situation.

"Obviously, when I heard that the club wanted to move me on, I became very upset and disappointed," he said.

"I believe that during the 18 months I have been here, I have given everything to this club.

"Usually, it is a player who doesn't want to honour his contract and for once when a player wants to see his contract out it appears the club have got different ideas.

"I think that I have shown during my last three performances that I put my heart and soul into this club and I want to make it clear that it will take a lot more than the club chairman to force me out. I want people to know that I don't want to go anywhere.

"I am not happy with the situation, regardless of what Kenny or anybody else thinks," he added.

"I want to be well thought of here. I cannot understand it. I give everything and want to win the league.

"Regardless of what the chairman wants to do, I am here until my contract expires on July 31."
